Theism — The belief that gods or deities exist and interact with the universe.
Atheism — A lack of belief that gods exist.
Deism — The belief that a god or gods exists, but does not interact with the universe.
Agnosticism — The belief that there is no way to know about gods or deities.
Atheism- a lack of THEISM all together, from God to Sin to Divinity

Gnosticism- The belief that God holds the ultimate "Truth"

Agnosticism- The lack of concern for the ultimate Truth

The word agnostic is archaic. Its based off a very old dead religion of gnostics, and doesn't mean whats its supposed to mean in modern society. I have a better word for people who don't believe in ultimate truth. Its Ironist.

But, to answer your question, those are the differences, and you can be both agnostic and atheist
